Back to back to back home runs on the euro. Probably will never see a run like that again locally, 40+ in 9 day span.

don't get too excited, this was a euro op run five days ago.   Amazing how quickly 36.7" of snow can disappear.   Don't even get me started on the ensembles either.  They have been horrible.  Consistent runs across the board from ggem, euro, and gfs all showing 20"+ for mby over the 360hr run, (multiple times last week).     Incredible how bad they are.    

I am glad to see our sub finally cashing in further north and west, even though cmh continues to miss south, north, and east.   At least it's not the eastcoast getting it this time.

Trust me I don't take anything these models show seriously. Of the three home runs I'll take a half of one, 6 inch storm and call it a winter and try again in 8 months.

While my area is still in play for a winter storm Wed night and again Saturday, its looking like the Wed storm stands a good chance to drop its heavier snow to my west giving areas like Chicago, who have had a shittier winter than here, a bigger snowstorm than we have seen yet this season. Its the weather and it does what it wants, but this is why I get so annoyed at the posts where some act like the pattern will never change, a storm will never hit their area, season futility talk in January, etc etc. Just not how weather works, and its proven time and time again.

I was all aboard the futility train for sure.  Taking 3.6" of snow into almost mid Feb, there was a legit shot at attaining the all-time low snowfall with how horrible things had been going.  

I'm just glad we aren't going to nickel and dime our way to just above the futility record like I had feared.

Oops I thought I posted that in the banter/complaint thread, my bad .

To be clear...your area was one of the worst so far, and i have NO gripes with people complaining about a shitty winter. And I certainly wasn't implying you. You've had an amazing calm actually with the way your winter has gone. My main irritant is the "it'll never snow here again" type dramatics that some post, even if joking. This is the only place a weather nerd has to go to escape the circus that social media weather pages have become, not to mention normies refreshing the weather app on their phone, calling it the weather channel, and saying matter of factly that their phone ap has already explained the weather lol.
